[QUOTE="Halloweenie, post: 1482861, member: 646807"] I was at the game: 1. QB play was bad. Either the OL doesn't give him enough time or he is too slow to find an open receiver. Most of our pass plays go outside. Most of our opponents pass plays go across the middle with the receiver catching the ball while moving. 2. We had one safety, who I won't name, who whiffed on tackles that cost three huge plays. If you aren't a good tackler, you can't play the position. 3. Teams with bad defenses and less talent should try to shorten the game. We are trying to play fast and go three and out way too many times. Defense suffers. When we are up two touchdowns vs. an opponent that is favored by approx 2 tds, we should use more of the clock. 4. Agree we should have tried to get in FG range at end of first half. 5. Three major calls hurt us:. First half, chance to go up 28 to 7, their DB clearly grabbed our WR jersey. The picked up flag on block in the back. Some argue that was the right call but picking up the flag very rarely happens. The last Illini play appeared to be clear pass interference. 6. Let me also say, the fumble incomplete pass rule is stupid. If the ball goes pass the line of scrimmage, in my opinion it ain't a fumble [/QUOTE]
